Most "reaction" videos will include all or nearly of original disregarding all the principles of fair use
Legal Definition yay
(Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes,Nature of the copyrighted work, Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole,Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work)30sec IIRC.
There are no objective criteria in fair use law.
